Topic: x-66 headlight bezels (Read 6887 times)

I am restoring a 69 x-66 camaro and need to know if it gets the chrome or plain headlight bezels. I have read the CRG information and am now more confused than ever.Does anyone have an original car with the original bezels? Maybe Jerry will answer this one. thanks

1969 Camaro dealer sales literature has detailed descriptions of what is included with the various option packages. "Camaro SS exterior features" does not list "bright headlamp trim" but style trim group does. The same description is repeated in the ordering info, salesmans' booklet and the three revs I have of the dealer order form.

The July 1969 Super Stock magazine road test of one of the first Yenko Camaros, known to be X66, clearly shows plain headlamp bezels.

Bill, according to the charts on the CRG X-code page, all SS models have the chrome trim on the bezels (see the link below). I know of many X66 cars that have the chrome trim on the bezels. As for the Yenko, that is not really a true comparison since those cars all specified the standard production grill in silver, so maybe they got the headlamp bezels w/o the chrome, unless they are X11 coded. Dunno?...............RatPack.......................

I cited 5 separate pieces of Chevrolet documentation that does not list chrome-trimmed headlamp bezels as included with Camaro SS equipment. The early versions DO list chrome-trimmed tail lamps which the Yenko has. There is a photo of it next to another Yenko which also has them.
